Inmotec’s displays to give the first Spanish manufactured machine in order to compete in the MotoGP sessions are
now in an advanced stage, with their prototype of the bike they want to compete at five Grands Prixs next season progressing
well.
They are planning a second unit, which may incorporate various changes from the prototype first shown at
Valencia last year. Modifications to the chassis, swingarm, motor and aerodynamics will be in depth, a day's testing
is scheduled in February in a wind tunnel near Paris to assess data concerning the fairings.
Oscar Gorria, M.D.
of the company, has announced that Inmotec have finished 2 weeks of testing with racer Iván Silva. He states: “The
bike is continually evolving. We will adapt the training schedule for the development of the new parts. At the moment we’re
training at circuits like Navarra or Alcarrás – where the attached video was shot – and we believe it is
necessary to go and train at World Championship circuits, to record more data for our own reference.”
Gorria
considers the single tyre law with Bridgestone as very important. “The agreement allows us to have an exact point
of reference for this specific part of our development. I think the confidence Bridgestone has given us says a lot about the
seriousness of our project.”
